painting my rims?!?!

well I just decided to paint my rims... I used a single stage paint black and I masked it off so I had a polished lip...I wish I would have had the money to powder coat them... but this way I get to paint... and I love to paint...woo.. how do you think it will turn out... I think there is a pic of my rims in the members ride section... thanks

-Justin

ak can only hope to improve
Don't paint... save and powder coat them. It's not THAT expensive, only $30-40 per rim.

btw, nice ride! Rims match your kit and all.

If you're paintin black...then i'd recommend powder coating instead. Now if you're tryin to matcha color thats a little more difficult to find, i'd recommend to take them to a place where they KNOWhow to do that correctly. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]
